Beating them over the head with their limbs is one thing, but convincing them to beat themselves over the head with their own limbs is a whole different, decidedly wonderful, ballpark.

Successful treatises were essential to a well-functioning kingdom. I set my mind to learning more about them.
(Diplomacy +20)

My fifth and final year at the Academy was very thrilling. I had been hearing about Archmage Lacius's private library since I first arrived.

I was invited in. (Needs 30 Mage Guild Faction)

I was in the common area late one night when Master Durgan, the doorkeeper, came in to get a midnight snack. His small stature made him very quiet as he entered unobtrusively.

"How are your studies going?" he asked me in a friendly tone.

"They're going well, but I'm having some troubles with recursive enchantments."

"There's a book in the Archmage's library that explains it very well. Come along."

I got up immediately, astounded by my luck. He led me across the Academy to the Archmage's quarters, the torchlight reflecting on his bald head. He opened the door to the library and we were just about to enter when he said that he had forgotten an important task that he needed to do. I had no idea what he could have forgotten about that late at night, but I said that it was all right. He apologized and said that he'd get me the book the next day. He closed the door and hurried away. But the door didn't latch. It was ironic, considering that he was the doorkeeper.

1) So, I went in.
2) I closed the door and returned to my studies.

Do you really have to ask? I went in, of course. (1)

Whats the worst that can happen?

2. Trap is trap >_>

Though springing traps can be fun, too. It might be interesting to see what an angry archmage looks like :P

1. Because there is no way that could go wrong. Right?

...on the one hand, this is a stunningly obvious morality test. On the other hand it'd be really boring if it wasn't and we just missed out on a really good opportunity. On the third hand, recursive enchantments sounds like the sort of thing that gets self-modifying magic, which naturally leads to a lot of ridiculous stuff.

My curiosity had gotten the better of me. I opened the unlatched door and slipped quietly inside. The library was very exciting, and there was a wealth of information to be had. I wondered why the books weren't available to everyone. After skimming a few of them, I saw why. They were dangerous! The magic involved was intense and powerful. One book in particular caught my eye. It was a book about golemcraft. I knew I couldn't stay long, but the book showed how to make a golem that would serve its master forever. And the best part was, I had access to the materials from my assorted classrooms.

1) The temptation was too great; I took the book.
2) The danger was too great; I put the book back and left.

2). Perhaps it would not be a good idea to tempt fate. We like the Archmage, yes?
